Working on the barbershop quartet romance is just such a joy. I have geeky little references and Easter eggs to barbershop culture and history everywhere and they make me happy. I hope someone reads it and gets some of them.

Y'all. I'm writing. Daily. I'm 14,500 words into writing an ACTUAL BOOK. Do I want to pursue trad publication again? I mean, probably yeah, but I want to have a clearer road map of what type of writing career I want. But first, finish this book. (But I'm scribbling notes for others, OMG!)
And I was raised in New England. I know that I was taught in elementary school that the Bad Folks in the South wanted to continue slavery so all the Good Folks in the North fought them over it, but if you're older than 9 & that is still the framework you're bringing to politics, we have issues.

This mass courtship event typically marks the beginning of Waymo mating season, and the general public is advised to avoid approaching them or their young and maintaining a safe distance at all times as they can get even more unpredictable in their behaviour towards humans at this time

This seems bad. The new counterterrorism strategy from the WH specifically says it will "prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist." www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

The number of people I went to high school (class of '89) and college with who later came out as queer (including me) is honestly shocking. We were all there. We were either closeted or hadn't realized who we were yet--because that level of exploration wasn't discussed at all.
Rowan MacBean@macbean221b.bsky.social · 3mo ago“If you went to high school in the 60s, 70s, or 80s, how many students with gender dysphoria did you know?” Get out of here with that. Literally die in an actual fire. How many people were out as gay then, let alone trans? How many people thought quietly that they were freaks & never spoke up? Die.
This newsletter's been knocking around in my head for a while, thanks to the changing tides in #Romancelandia and how writing increasingly seems like the least important part of the process. Nowhere is that more obvious than in sex scenes. romancing-the-stoned.beehiiv.com/p/no-f-ck-is...

This is gonna sound weird, but I think I finally managed to stumble into reading the type of books I should be writing, instead of trying to write the books I THINK I should be writing.
Oh “it’s horses” is absolutely a thing now. I’m gonna use it all the time. Thank you for this gift.
mollz@ilikemints.bsky.social · 3mo agoit took me too long to realize that this was "horseshit" censored and not new slang i didn't know about yet where "horses" meant bad

Writing is hard, y'all. I don't usually hate everything I'm writing this early in the book process.
Fuck this guy. You will pry my Abilify, Pristiq, Focalin, etc from my cold dead fingers.

My colposcopy was hands down the most painful gyno procedure I ever experienced, and I went through endometrial cancer.
Jessica Price@delafina777.bsky.social · 3mo agoIf they find any abnormal signs, they will perform a biopsy. I hear some doctors provide local anesthetic for it. Everyone I know who’s had one was told to take they can take an ibuprofen before coming in. You are told this is only a little pinch. It is not.
Oh my god this is glorious. The replies say this was worn by Billy Porter, which tracks.

So soft and fluffy! I think I might have over proofed it a little, but it rose so stinking fast. Will definitely make again, partly because I think if I don't the family will hound me.
roane@roane72.bsky.social · 3mo agoI made Lacey Ostermann's easy Dutch oven bread and uh. Holy Oven Spring, Batman. I'm very curious what's going on inside there with the crumb, but I have to wait until dinner. 😭
